Review: Hereafter

*(Yes, I actually got out to see a movie. Unbelievable; I know.) :o)

Clint Eastwood is simply one of the greatest directors of the last thirty years. His latest offering, Hereafter, is a phenomenal piece of art.

Eastwood fascinatingly weaves three story lines into a single, satisfying conclusion. Along the way he involves the audience emotionally with at least two, if not all three, of the main characters. Doing that is not an easy thing to accomplish.

Unlike many of Eastwood's films, this one does not have a bittersweet ending. It remains however, a story of loss, journey and resolution--typical earmarks of Eastwood directed projects. Yet, in spite of the formulaic approach, you come away having had an incredibly satisfying movie-going experience.

I highly recommend that everyone see this film. This one will leave you thinking for a long time after walking away from the theater. This movie deserves an Oscar--it's that good!

This film will definitely be a part of my home movie library as soon as it comes out on video!
